HCCS has inspired and taught children for 30 years and is served by a delightful team of teachers and support staff who value children and seek to nurture young minds. The engaging learning climate promotes curiosity, discovery, independence and smiles with respectful relationships between adults and children immediately evident. Over 460 students from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 8 attend this co-educational school.

Schooling takes up a large proportion of an individual’s life; many hours, days and years are spent in formal education laying foundations and building upon these foundations with the ultimate aim of developing well balanced, positive life-long learners.

At St. Michael’s we are acutely aware of this responsibility and therefore endeavour to offer quality schooling within a friendly, caring and supportive environment underpinned by our Christian faith.

One of the many qualities of this community is the acceptance of its members to reflect upon, analyse and evaluate the programmes that are offered, from academic through to social/emotional and spiritual.

An effective school cannot allow itself to become complacent. This desire to be as strong a school as possible has seen us over the last few years develop a curriculum that has literacy, numeracy and Christian studies as ‘foundational pillars’ with the International Baccalaureate programme providing the curriculum framework.
